A certificate program generally refers to a series of courses covering a specific topic. These are offered through educational institutions and upon completion demonstrates your knowledge in the covered areas. This helps students gain the knowledge they need in order to successfully take various industry certification tests.

IT certification typically refers to passing specific tests given by independent organizations which are industry recognized. These independent organizations issue certifications, these are not issued by universities. Passing these tests typically require both experience and education. Often times, once an individual is certified, they can use post-nominal letters such as CISSP, CCNP or MCSA.

A certificate program from an educational institution is not the same as being certified, but it can help you prepare to sit for recognized exams and become certified.

For more information on becoming certified you should check with the organization which issues the specific certification. They are responsible for creating the criteria needed for passing their exams. Currently, we offer programs which align to a variety of industry certifications from organizations such as:

Each organization has their own regulations in regards to maintaining certification. Since these vary, you need to check with the regulating organization for what is needed to keep a certification once you have earned it. A certificate from an education institution, however, does not require ongoing work to maintain.
